Christina Chapman Photography

Hey there! My name is Christina Chapman, and my husband, John, is here with me. He also happens to be my second shooter. That’s right! We’re a husband-and-wife photography team based in Fredericksburg VA. We serve couples from North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Florida, and even offer our services for destination weddings. We’re here to support you on the day you become married to the person of your dreams! A little background: I have always loved photography. Even as a little girl, I was drawn to photos. Many years ago, my parents bought my first camera—a pink Polaroid! I adored that camera, but I never imagined it would start a love affair with photography that is still going strong today. But today, John and I want to tell you about a different love affair—ours. We met four years ago at the bank where I worked. I bought my coworker lunch so that I could help him, even though he was in her line—he was so cute! The next week he called me and asked to thank me in person for my help, and I knew it was a date. We laugh now because he says it sounded like I was about to jump through the phone with excitement. Let me let you on a secret: I was! John brought me homemade blackberry cobbler on our first date, which he made himself! I was smitten. When I introduced him to my son, Noah, and saw them together, I knew John was the man of my dreams. He proposed two years later at the same restaurant where he brought me that blackberry cobbler, down on one knee like the southern gentleman he is. Our wedding day was everything I wanted it to be. Now, as a husband-and-wife photography team, we do everything in our power to create that same experience for our couples. What’s your love story? I can’t wait to hear it! Christina's Favs!! Pink!
